Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Well I think I am finally at my goal. It's been 5 1/2 months since my surgery. It's been wonderful! With the exception of the first two weeks post op when I thought I was going to die. post-221807-14234327462731_thumb.jpg

Today just for the fun of it I went and tried on clothes at the store. I used to hate to shop. Now when I look at something on the hanger I think that will never fit me. I try it on and it does. I love my sleeve. One of the best decisions of my life.

Thank you....this forum is about the only place I can post pictures, if I do it on FB it seems like "friends" have something to say negative. I personally think they are jealous. Well that's my story anyway.

Of course they're jealous! It didn't take you long to reach your goal. My I ask your stats? HW, SW, and CW? Age too maybe? ???? I'm having surgery on the 18th. I'm 53 and about 125 lbs overweight

I am working on the maintenance portion now. Talked to my NUT last week. I am a bit freaked out about not seeing the scale move down. It has been a big part of my life, I don't want to fail. I have never had a stall in this entire process. A steady moving down on the scale. So I don't know what it is like to not lose when I get on the scale. I am still losing about .2 pounds a day. I know I need to eat more. I no longer eat fat free cheese. I am trying to eat more like a normal person. What are your maintenance plans?

HW 289, SW 229. CW 150 height 5'9 got all Protein and Water in since about week two. Little to no Hair loss (THANK YOU GOD) and I didn't have any stalls. I am 52 years old 51 at time of surgery. Exercised regularly mostly cardio in the first six months. More focused on weight training now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
